Hello everybody and Merry Christmas,
I have been using UrBackup in a business environment for about 1.5 years now and have not had any major problems so far.
But since a few days I have got an error message in the backup log of a client, which I can’t get on with:
Unknown unix metadata version +12 in "/mnt/backup/urbackup_tmp_files/78"
I even reformatted the backup hard disk (/mnt/backup/), the SMART values are good and it’s only one client that is causing problems.
Do you have an idea how I can get ahead here? Here is some technical information:
Server
Debian Buster 10.2 in a VM on a Proxmox-Host
UrBackup Server 2.4.12
Client
Debian Stretch (9.11), a Proxmox-Host
UrBackup Client 2.4.9.0 (going to update this one)
Thanks in advance!

The log line should be followed by “Copied metadata to FN for error analysis”. If possible send that file to bugreports@urbackup.org (it contains file metadata of all the files being backed up).
I’m not sure where I can find that file, there’s also no such line in the log?

You do get the Error saving metadata. Could not save OS specific metadata to FN
later?
Edit: If possible please post the whole log with log level information.
I’m using the debian packages, so I’m not sure if I can change the code without installing from source?

No, no occurrence of that message. I attached the full log.

Seems it is a debug level message. So if you put the server into debug logging mode it should go into the log file (see Having problems with UrBackup? Please read before posting )

Installing from source shouldn’t be that hard. See https://www.urbackup.org/server_source_install.html
Symlink the db location beforehand (mkdir -p /usr/local/var && ln -s /var/urbackup /usr/local/var/urbackup
) and install a few dependencies (apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev
plus perhaps a few configure tells you about)
I’ve sent the debug log to bugreports@urbackup.org .

Hello. Was this issue resolved? I’m getting these errors on one machine:

I just had the same issue trying UrBackup for the first tgime with Proxmox v8
Errors

Client: 2.5.24 on Proxmox VE (Debian Bookworm) with ZFS, no snapshot mechanism configured
I’ll dig around for more logging, but was hoping that maybe there was a way to resolve from the original problem reported
